Chapter 596: The Chu Army Goes South
In front of Li Dingguo, the king of Qin, there was a sheepskin contract, and at the end of the payment, not only signed Wang Taiji's name, but also stamped with the big seal of the city lord of Jincheng,
Finally found a way back for himself, and successfully formed an alliance with Jincheng, even if he lost the battle in the future, he didn't have to worry about the end of the road, at least there was a nest to gather the remnants of the defeated generals,
He should have been happy that he had done this,
However, there was no trace of joy on his face, but a faint pain in his face...... Yes, the pain in the flesh and the feeling of liver tremor,
Xiangguo Lu Xianfeng comforted on the side: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and it is worth spending a little money to be able to form a brotherly alliance with Jincheng,"
King Qin finally broke out, slapped on the contract, and roared hysterically: "Is that spending some money, obviously it cost a lot of money, in order to buy a back road for himself, he spent a full 400,000 taels of gold, 400,000 taels, it's gold, not silver, the family foundation that this king has saved for decades will see the bottom all of a sudden,"
Lu Xianfeng hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, you can't just see money, although money is important, but many times money is not omnipotent, such as what we are going to do next, if the money can be done, how good it is to buy an emperor directly, why bother to do all kinds of planning, you say,"
Hearing this, King Qin's face looked a little better, and he took a few deep breaths and said: "You're right, money can't buy the country, you have to rely on the soldiers to fight it with a knife and a shot, but then again, who will work for this king without money, what kind of recruitment and buying horses,"
Lu Xianfeng smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the war starts, when the time comes, there will be money and there will be people, isn't it just 400,000 taels of gold, and soon we will be able to earn it back, if we want to do a big business, of course we have to invest a lot of capital,"
"Well, for the sake of our great cause, it is worth whatever it takes,"
At this time, Jincheng is a sea of joy, first of all, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the Chu army, because the city lord has formed an alliance with the king of Qin; secondly, Jincheng has obtained 400,000 taels of gold, which is a huge wealth,
At the instigation of Xiao Chen and Wang Xuanye, Wang Taiji demanded a price at the negotiation table and demanded one million taels of gold.
The envoy of the King of Qin repaid the money on the spot, and after some bargaining, it was sold for 400,000 taels.
With this money, the Wang family father and son can pull up a team in a short period of time, and they don't have to worry about food, grass and ordnance in a few years.
Including the Lin merchant group, more than a dozen smuggling caravans traveled day and night, transporting all kinds of materials needed by Jincheng in a steady stream.
In troubled times, only those who hold guns have the right to speak, this is the idea that Xiao Chen has always instilled in the father and son.
Moreover, Da Chu is about to have civil strife, and if you don't want to get a piece of the pie, it's simply sorry to God, but if you want to get a piece of the pie, you must first have the strength to compete with it.
With the current situation of Jincheng, it can only be regarded as more than enough to defend the territory and not enough to attack, if you can't immediately increase your troops, you can only cower in the old nest, watching people eat meat, and you don't even have a chance to drink soup.
Soon, news came from the border town of the Chu army that the southern border was attacked by barbarians one after another, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
The result was even more unacceptable, thousands of people actually succeeded in a sneak attack, not only killed a large number of defenders, but also looted the material warehouses in the border towns, and looted tens of thousands of stone of grain and millions of taels of military expenses.
The king of Qin was annoyed and angry, and personally led tens of thousands of troops to pour out, vowing to wipe out all the enemies, and by the way, to eliminate those tribes in the south, and share the worries of the country.
In this way, more than 100,000 Chu troops left the border town and went all the way south.
When he got the news, Xiao Chen laughed, it seems that there are capable people around King Qin, and he casually fabricated an incident of the robbery of a material warehouse, and filled the deficit of more than 100,000 taels of gold for the master, and the money went into King Qin's pocket, but this deficit was ultimately counted in the accounts of the Great Chu Imperial Court.
As for making up for the shortfall, it is naturally to make up for the money that was deceived by the people of Jincheng.
It's just that there is one thing Xiao Chen can't understand, the purpose of King Qin's guarding the border is to prevent the invasion of the Pantheistic Sect, and it is the order of the Great Chu Emperor to carry out at this time, and at this time, he is not afraid of the emperor's fire.
unless
Unless he has reached a final consensus with the Pantheist Sect, he is deliberately getting out of the way, so that the Pantheist army can pass through the border towns smoothly, and the troops will be directed towards several state capitals in the north.
If the king of Qin deliberately conceals it and does not report it, I believe that it will take longer for the emperor to know, and the folds that appear in front of the emperor together must also have a book of excerpts of the invasion of the Pantheist Sect.
At that time, the king of Qin can completely push two, four, five, even if the emperor is hot, he can't deal with him in the south, can he directly issue a holy decree to kill,
Come on, unless the King of Qin is willing to wipe his neck with a knife, the reason why he led his troops to the south is that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and when he gets a firm foothold, the holy decree is no different from waste paper to him, and it is estimated that he will be thrown directly into the toilet and used as toilet paper.
I have to admit that Li Dingguo's trick is very sophisticated, and after forming an alliance with Jincheng, he immediately put it into action, without any drag, which shows that he is a decisive person, not the soul who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun as rumored in the rivers and lakes.
You must know that Xiao Chen has always positioned King Qin as the wronged leader, and he has teased him several times.
Wang Xuanye sat down in the cart, and his subordinates pushed him over, and said, "Brother Xian, King Qin has left the border town, I believe that the Pantheon army will soon appear nearby, do you think they will attack us by the way?"
The little marquis chuckled in his heart,
He was not worried that the Pantheist Sect would attack Jincheng, the reason why the King of Qin left so reassuringly was that he must have reached a final consensus with the Pantheist Sect, who was the master?
The Holy Sect Master was seriously injured by Piao Piao in the Dark Demon Tower, it stands to reason that he could not have woken up so quickly, although he had already initialed an agreement with King Qin before he went to the Dark Demon Tower, but without the Holy Sect Master's decision, who would dare to go beyond the line of the Great Chu for such an important matter,
Although the left and right Xian Wang said that he was the second-in-command in the sect, and he could act as his authority when the Holy Sect Master was away, but Su asked the two of them to disagree politically, even to the point of incompatibility, only one person proposed a certain plan, and the other person would definitely oppose it regardless of whether it was right or wrong, and it was absolutely impossible to reach an agreement in a short time.
Could it be that the Holy Sect Master has sobered up and regained power,
If that's the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous to flutter up,
He once again had the idea of going to Heaven and Earth City, and he was as determined as last time,
Even if his injuries have not healed, even if he will die in the city of heaven and earth, it is better than doing nothing,
He was just about to say goodbye to Wang Xuanye, when a guard came over, saluted the two of them first, and then said with a respectful expression: "Chen Gongzi, there is a person who claims to be your old man, and he asks to see him outside the gate,"
"Old man," the little marquis was full of suspicion: "Male or female, how old and what does it look like?"
"It's a man, with a face towel, and he says he has something very important to report to you," said the guard, "and he said that he came from the northwest, and that you would regret it if you didn't see him,"
